Abstract：GBP/JPY rebounds from the lowest levels since late March, picking up bids near 159.05 during Thursdays Asian session, as bears lose control near the strong support zone.
GBP/JPY pares recent losses around the key support area.
Bearish MACD signals, downbeat RSI test buyers below three-week-old resistance.
The cross-currency pairs previous weakness could be linked to the clear downside break of the 50-DMA, as well as bearish MACD signals and an absence of oversold RSI.
However, a horizontal area from October 2021 around 157.75-158.25, also comprising the 100-DMA, appears a tough nut to crack for the pair bears.
Should the GBP/JPY prices fail to recover from 157.75, a gradual south-run towards late November 2021 top surrounding 154.75 cant be ruled out. Though, a five-month-long ascending support line near 152.55 will challenge the bears afterward.
Alternatively, recovery moves need to cross the 50-DMA level of 160.30 to challenge a downward sloping resistance line from April 20, close to 161.25 by the press time.
In a case where GBP/JPY rises past 161.25, highs marked during March and April, near 164.65 and 168.45 respectively, will be in focus.
